Health insurance costs are far outpacing inflation, leaving more consumers on the hook each year for thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses. At the same time, some insurers are rejecting nearly 1 in 5 claims. That double whammy is leaving Americans paying more for coverage yet sometimes feeling like they're getting less in return, experts say. Frustration over denials and medical costs has fueled an outpouring of vitriol against health insurance companies in the wake of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Also last week, a similar outcry led Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to reverse a decision to limit anesthesia coverage during surgeries.The anger may be rooted in fears that unexpected medical costs could prove financially ruinous, as well as concerns that essential care could be denied by an insurer, putting health and well-being at risk even for those who have health insurance. Some of those anxieties are well-founded: The top cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. is health care-related debt, underscoring the financial stresses that can stem from high medical costs. In fact, most adults say they worry about their ability to pay for health care services or unexpected medical bills, a sentiment shared by people regardless of whether they're financially comfortable or struggling, a KFF survey found earlier this year.

That's the thing about health care. It is a necessity, not a choice. So, they don't care about inflation. Their message is basically 'pay it or die.'

there is no real choice they are all the same, the aim is to have low  outgoing money and high in coming money.

If a person is your enemy...if they actively harm you and make your life more difficult...you should kill them. That is kinda the essence of politics itself. Politics happens because war is possible. 

Did this guy harm me? Absolutely. Him and people like him are the reason health care is so difficult to afford.

the only reason I didn't kill him or people like him is because I would rather not be charged with murder and live in prison. There is no ethical obstacle whatsoever

and as far as the framing of the poll went...two wrongs making a right? That misses the point. I would say instead that if you kill all your enemies then you won't have enemies. And it is besides the point whether that is right or wrong. That is just what a successful life form does. It is no different from my immune system killing germs.
